“…1, 2 Since the 1950s a number of case reports have been published linking clinically observed erosion with acidic food and drinks. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] However, it was not until comparatively recently that any epidemiological investigations were undertaken to show the prevalence of erosion in the general population.…”

“…[3][4][5] Erosion is the most significant cause of tooth wear and has been implicated in 89% of all cases. 6 Localised tooth wear of combined erosion/attrition aetiology is often seen affecting the palatal surfaces of the upper anterior teeth. The incisal enamel may become very thin and translucent and often gives a halo effect framing the crown.…”

Objective To examine the clinical performance of resin-based composite restorations placed at an increased vertical dimension when used to manage localised anterior tooth wear. Design A retrospective analysis of cases treated at a single centre. Setting UK Hospital setting in the year 2000. Subjects and Methods Two hundred and twenty five restorations placed in 31 subjects were included. Assessment was made following examination of study casts and projected slides. Modified United States Public Health Services criteria were used and data analysed using the software Statistical Programme for Social Sciences (SPSS). Survival analysis was carried out at two levels, major failure only and all types of failure. Kaplan-Meier survival plots were produced against different variables and modes of failure were also noted. Results Major failure requiring replacement of the restoration was uncommon within the first five years. Minor failure requiring repair or refinishing presented mainly as wear, marginal discolouration or marginal fracture. Median survival was 4 years 9 months when all types of failure were considered. The restorations have good appearance and are well tolerated. Conclusion Placement of resin-based composite restorations at an increased vertical dimension to treat localised anterior tooth wear, has good short to medium term survival. The technique is conservative and relatively easy to maintain.Tooth wear appears to be an increasingly significant problem affecting all ages. 1,2 In particular there is an increased incidence of young patients presenting with moderate to severe, erosive wear caused by intrinsic and extrinsic acids. [3][4][5] Erosion is the most significant cause of tooth wear and has been implicated in 89% of all cases. 6

“…Extrinsic causes of dental erosion include demineraliz ing acidic foods and acids in air breathed in the working environment [Eccles and Jenkins, 1974;Eccles, 1982a;ten Bruggen Cate, 1968]. When erosion has been associated with diet, the labial surfaces of the anterior teeth have most often been reported as affected.…”

The aim of the study reported here was to determine locations of dental erosion and whether or not it is possible to decide the cause of erosion from the location. One hundred and six patients with dental erosion, 54 men and 52 women, mean age of 33.6 years, were studied. Erosion was classified as one of three grades on buccal, lingual or occlusal/incisal surfaces. Dietary and gastric causes of erosion were identified by means of a questionnaire. Erosion was observed on all teeth, but was commonest on the upper incisors, canines and pre-molars, and severest on palatal surfaces. In both groups, in which erosion had gastric and dietary causes, there were cases of buccal, lingual and occlusal erosion, but the risk of lingual erosion was 1.9 times greater in the group in which erosion had a gastric cause than in the group in which erosion had a dietary cause. Our findings indicate, however, that the cause of dental erosion cannot reliably be identified by location of the lesion.
